See also Isaiah 2:3-5 And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem. And he shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people: and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruninghooks: nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. O house of Jacob, come ye, and let us walk in the light of the LORD.</ref> In former times believers walked to church.

Some congregants might enjoy walking. They could arrive at designated meeting places out in the neighborhood, a few or many blocks away, park there, and walk together to church. Perhaps the neighbors of these meeting places could be approached and be given a heads up of this occasional parking. (Outreach opportunity). Perhaps the walking congregants would attract the attention and interest of the neighbors as they stroll by.
